Wasting money on items that do not hold their value means you're either poor, or extremely wealthy. I myself am neither, so I buy based on cost and effectiveness.

So people who buy Intel are wasting money? Says who? You the high school student who lives off their mommie? I guess everyone should buy an AMD setup with mid range GPUs and mediocre displays like you.

I'm just pointing out the difference between this new chip and the i7 9xx x4's is about the same difference as those same said older chips to AMD chips.

Which is causing me to point out some of the same people who bashed AMD setups because of their performance are now holding near and dear to their older chips using the same rational as the AMD users were using with them.

Time to forget the AMD vs Intel BS. Why not own a PC from Both camps!
Intel has faster chips for now that provide an excellent experience. Amd processors also perform well! My 1055t games just fine in metro,crysis, etc. Those that say it does not are full of BS. Does anyone think that the 1000's of AMD users on this forum do not game and if they do, they are limited to 1440 x 900 Res?

How much would a 2600K cost if no competition existed? $2000 maybe?

Why would it even come to be at all?

Dozens of great CPU's are out there from both camps.

Go AMD and Intel and be a true enthusiast and not just an Intel or AMD jerk-off artist!
